Flocking to Twitter, many West Ham United fans have gone wild over an update on the future of midfield star Declan Rice.

The England international was at the centre of rumours linking him with a move away over the summer after he rejected two contract offers, as per reliable reports from The Evening Standard and The Guardian.

Rice has also been attracting attention from some of the Premier League's top clubs, with Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City all linked (90min).

Putting his future to one side, the 22-year-old continues to dazzle in claret and blue this season and has been an untouchable in manager David Moyes starting XI, featuring in every English top flight match so far in 2021/22 (WhoScored).

He has also averaged a higher pass accuracy (91.7%) than any Irons player with more than one league start, whilst making the most interceptions per 90 in that time (WhoScored).

A colossal presence, it's little wonder that so many fans are eager to keep hold of him, and there has been an encouraging development.

According to The Sun, West Ham 'want to build their future' around Rice and see him as a key symbol of what the club represents. Their determination to do so means that they're not interested in any sale, even if a bid came in for as much as £100m.

Even though the West Ham star has rejected two new contract offers this year, neither the Hammers nor Rice are in any rush to tie up fresh terms, and talks are apparently ongoing.

Flocking to this news, it's safe to say that many Irons supporters have gone wild with delight, with one even calling it the 'best possible' development.
